Strength Training for Runners

Strength Training for Runners | Week 2

/in /by

This is week 2 of our 6 week beginner running strength training program. If you are completely new to strength training, check out our first beginner strength training for running video. It introduces many of the movements that we use throughout the 6 beginner strength training for running videos. This follow along workout requires no equipment which makes it perfect for at home strength training for runners.

The video is only 30 minutes and includes a warm up, core activation, and a 3 round circuit of strength exercises. These videos are great for marathon, half marathon, 10k, and 5k strength training. If you are starting a couch to 5k training plan, these workouts will help avoid potential overuse injuries from running. Adding strength workouts for running to your running plan may seem daunting but you can see benefits by performing this 30 minute strength workout just twice per week.
